La Nouba Does Two Rare Trapeze Acts

Last Thursday, La Nouba by Cirque du Soleil performed two rare trapeze acts during their 7:00pm performance- the double-double and half layout to the legs and the quadruple tuck. It was sort of a really big deal. Here’s how it went down.

It’s performance day! 

The 7:00 pm performance came swinging in (pun intended). The trapeze act was up. They started off with a few warm up moves.

La Nouba, back at it again with their trapeze swings. 

The crowd goes quiet. A couple of swings, back and forth, upside down, on the trapeze, signaled that it was time.

(Applaud here) BUT WAIT! There’s more!

Quadruple Tuck

Speechless. 

The best moment to take away from all of this is the moment of victory. When they looked at that quadruple tuck in the face and said, “Not today, quadruple tuck! Not to-day!”

Swing on, La Nouba. Swing on.
